Chapter 248 Queen Wei
Chapter 248 Queen Wei
When Queen Wei saw that what Jun Jiuchen said was almost exactly the same as the facts, she became more wary, but after all, he was the one who had been in charge of the harem for many years.
There was no sign of emotion on her face, instead she sneered in an unusually calm manner.
"What kind of hatred does the Prince Regent have with Prince Huai's Palace that he could even say such a ridiculous thing?"
"Prince Huai's Mansion was the hero who drove out the rebellion. If you tell others about this, who would believe you?"
Upon hearing this, Jun Jiuchen actually laughed along with her, but there was a hint of deep meaning in his eyes.
"Really? Queen Wei is so protective of Prince Huai, but have you ever considered what would happen to you if your plan succeeded?"
"The late emperor was a cautious person by nature. Not many people could tamper with his food. And if I remember correctly, when I led my troops into the palace, there were already rumors circulating. That was how I was able to easily find evidence and execute you."
"I wonder who spread those rumors. If it was King Huai who broke into the palace, would you be in the same situation as you are now?"
"After all, after the young emperor ascended the throne, Prince Huai didn't react in the slightest to my private execution of you. Even... when I removed your father from the position of Minister of the Central Secretariat, he simply watched from the sidelines. Only after the dust settled did he quickly turn all his attention to forming a clique, winning over court officials, and replacing your father as Minister of the Central Secretariat..."
"Now, you're suffering here alone, while he's enjoying great success out there. Perhaps he'll marry another woman and have children, or even make a comeback... With three harems and six courtyards, ruling the world, he'll completely forget you."
"Your Majesty the Queen... do you really have no regrets?"
Queen Wei originally listened to Jun Jiuchen's words without much change in her expression.
She has seen too many tactics of sowing discord.
But when he heard that his father had stepped down from the position of Minister of the Central Secretariat and that Zizhan... had replaced his father's position, his eyes trembled almost imperceptibly for a moment.
But, it was just a moment.
The emotion in her eyes finally calmed down.
If his father was pulled down by Jun Jiuchen, Zizhan would take advantage of the situation and prevent him from monopolizing power.
"I said, I don't understand what you are saying!"
"I have been married into the Eastern Palace since I was fifteen, and later served as the mother of the country. I have treated the late emperor with respect, and my husband and wife follow my husband's lead. I am the envy of all women in the world. I have never done, nor have I ever needed to do, the things you mentioned!"
"If you're sparing my life because you want me to frame Prince Huai, I advise you to give up this intention as soon as possible!"
"Even if you lock me up here for the rest of my life, I still have only this to say: I have no connection with Prince Huai's Mansion..."
She doesn't regret anything she has done!
She had no children, and the late emperor treated her with extreme indifference, allowing the biological mother of the two princes to ignore her.
If she hadn't been a descendant of the Wei family, her father had been the Minister of the Central Secretariat, her uncle had been in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, and if they hadn't held the imperial edict, perhaps the late emperor would have deposed her long ago...
Once those two princes ascend the throne, neither she nor the Wei family will have a good ending.
She had also thought about supporting the Third Prince to ascend to the throne and brought him into the palace, but unfortunately... that bitch Shupin saw something she shouldn't have seen...
Only Zizhan can take the throne...
Only she and the Wei family can get out of the predicament.
She also knew Zizhan's ambitions and was willing to help him ascend to the throne.
It’s a pity that Zizhan’s plan that he had been planning for many years... was ultimately ruined by this person who suddenly appeared.
Thinking of this, Queen Wei looked at Jun Jiuchen with some resentment in her eyes.
Did he think that with just a few words he could sow discord between her and Zizhan?
impossible.
Because she knew that Zizhan would never forget her.
He and Zizhan knew each other when they were young and admired each other. She was the legitimate daughter of the Minister of the Central Secretariat, and he was the bright and handsome second prince.
Regardless of their status and personality, they are a perfect match.
They secretly exchanged letters for a long time and visited many places. He said that he would wait until she reached the age of 15 and then come to propose to her.
Those were the best times of her life.
until……
The late emperor issued an imperial decree, bestowing her as the Crown Princess to the late emperor, who was still the Crown Prince at that time, completely shattering her beautiful dream.
For the sake of the Wei family's glory, her father and mother persuaded her that the imperial decree had been issued and there was no room for maneuver, so she should marry into the Eastern Palace and not joke with the lives and property of hundreds of people in the Wei family.
She could only write a letter to say goodbye to him.
But she would never forget the distraught look he showed when he appeared before her the day before her wedding with the prince.
He said that he no longer wanted to be a prince and wanted to take her away. He also made a bracelet with his own hands and gave it to her.
He said that in the future, he would use his own hands to make her live a good life.
but……
She was the legitimate daughter who grew up under the protection of the Wei family. How could she really abandon everything?
How can...
I watched helplessly as he went from being a prince, accused of kidnapping the Crown Princess, to a fugitive hiding from where he was.
How could a man who was willing to give up his identity for her forget her...
No matter how many women he has later, she will always be unique in his heart.
Thinking of this, Queen Wei subconsciously glanced at her wrist, but unfortunately, there was only a cold iron chain there.
The bracelet that had been with her for more than twenty years had disappeared when she woke up in the dungeon.
However, her somewhat abrupt action did not escape Jun Jiuchen's eyes. However, at that moment, he could not figure out what she was looking at.
So he just continued to speak as if nothing had happened with a hint of sarcasm.
"Respect each other like guests? A situation that all women in the world envy? Queen Wei said this, do you believe it yourself?"
Upon hearing this, Empress Wei felt sad. If she could not win the emperor's favor as the Empress, the feeling would be like drinking water, and only the person who drinks it would know whether it is hot or cold.
But at this moment she was no longer willing to talk to Jun Jiuchen.
He just closed his eyes and said nothing more.
Although she didn't know how he knew about her and Zizhan, since he already knew the clues, she said a few more words at this moment.
It will bring a little more risk to Zizhan.
she……
I will never give him a chance...
